About Frank & Olive

Hey! I’m Danielle and I want to welcome to you Frank & Olive!

As a self confessed foodie, entertainer and lover of all things beautiful, I’m passionate about ‘everything’ edible.

For me there’s no competition: foodmarkets, cookery books, foodie blogs and Insta feeds win every time over the many other visual feasts we can spend our time exploring!

~But I wanted to offer South African consumers something different!~

Beauty in the backstory...

Creating Frank & Olive has been as much a personal and creative journey as it’s been about starting a business. Originally, the idea was to import an award winning organic chocolate range from Europe, but COVID-19 closed that door and poetically another door opened.

~ Suddenly I found myself like Alice in Wonderland, tumbling into amazing creative rabbit holes.~

Frank & Olive is the culmination of those hours & hours of research, tasting local confectioneries to bring you what we believe is the most beautifully packaged, mouth watering local treats made by South Africans for South Africans.

Artists and artisans...

Each of our suppliers is relatively small and provide us with bespoke products. This allows us to select only the best ingredients which allow us to handcraft the most delicious treats for you.

It is a true privilege to find amazing artisanal confectioners working locally, each perfecting the art of what they produce and provide employment to many communities around the Western Cape. I have loved the hours I’ve spent getting to know these passionate, local entrepreneurs.

~They are true artists and I’m inspired to bring their treats to discerning, sweet-toothed South Africans!~
